The Scene
Surrounded by monolithic apartment buildings, Thomas Avenue Beverage Co. provides architectural breathing room with its cozy location. This corner pub attracts a casual singles crowd with an open floor plan and seat-yourself approach. All tables have a view of the kitchen, as well as the bar and a big-screen television typically tuned to sports. The shady back patio offers additional seating and an atmosphere more conducive to one-on-one conversation.

The Food
TABC goes above and beyond standard pub grub. Common appetizers are spiced up, like the flavorful black bean and chorizo queso served with seasoned tortilla chips. Sandwiches like the spicy jalapeno-smoked turkey melt are traditional with a twist. Homemade 12-inch pizzas are a popular choice and can be personalized with nearly a dozen toppings. Entrees are sophisticated and impressive, from the Brie-stuffed tenderloin to the signature meat loaf with scallion mashed potatoes.
